was unable to pull the vehicle any further.
The owner unhitched him and started to
walk the remainder of the way on the rail-
road track, but came to piece of trestle

the horse fell through. Being unable to
get him out, the hunter left him there, and

yard men on locomotive and rescued the
poor animal. AS they could not bring him
in on the engine, he was hitched near the
scene of the accident, to prevent his getting
upon the track during the night. Next
morning he was looked after just in time
to prevent his perishing from the cold.
